The plot yet thickens...
For the sake of customer security, I'm not going throw names out here but i believe all of this to be both relevant, and likely useful for the future.
I've been contacted by "others" over the course of this morning. Two in particular has sent me pictures of a counterfeit charger claimed to have been bought from Next Day Batteries. They've also included a picture of the paypal receipt which interestingly displays the name "M & T Partners Ltd" as the recipient of the payment.
Looking at the website, mtpartnership .co.uk, it bears a striking resemblance to that of NDB. In fact, looking into the source code for the website, they're identical selling the same products. The source code on the page shows it was almost certainly built by the same person/company with only changes being made for branding.
Further to the above, the bottom of the website displays the name "The Complete Startup", a company/business with which the owner is NDB is/was affiliated with.
Looking up the details of M & T Partners, the owner/director of this business has an affiliation with "GeoTee Apparel".
The owner of NDB had himself listed as a Director of GeoTee until very recently when GeoTee popped up on Facebook to denounce it and said he was merely going to be an investor, and for various reasons this was no longer the case and had requested it was removed from his profile in order not to be caught up in this.
Make of it what you will, but there is clearly more to this than initially thought and someone is far from coming clean...
